Explanation

1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with The Righter Co., Inc., in the amount of $1,114,300.00, for the Water Supply Facilities Elevator Replacement Project, Division of Power and Water Contract Number 1159.

This contract will furnish all materials, equipment, and labor for the renovation of freight/passenger elevators at the Dublin Road Water Plant, Hap Cremean Water Plant, and Hoover Dam Control House. Work includes replacement of hoist motors, controllers, floor selectors, landing doors, car gates, signal fixtures, door operating equipment, and other related work. Incidental to the work is asbestos abatement, electrical work, and HVAC improvements. The existing controls for these elevators need upgraded technology for operation, leveling and power conversion and safety features. This contract will bring these elevators up to code except for a few items for which variances were granted by the Ohio Department of Commerce Board of Building Appeals. The Hoover Dam Control House elevator is presently locked out of service and is no longer repairable under the existing maintenance contract.

2. CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AWARD: The Director of Public Utilities publicly opened two bids on September 22, 2010. Bids were received from: The Righter Co., Inc. - $1,114,300.00 and The Altman Company - $1,320,000.00.

The lowest and best bid was from The Righter Co., Inc. in the amount of $1,114,300.00. Their Contract Compliance Number is 31-0889208 (4/7/11, Majority). Additional information regarding both bidders, description of work, contract time frame and detailed amounts can be found on the attached Information form.

3. FISCAL IMPACT: A transfer of funds within the Water Build America Bonds Fund will be necessary, as well as an amendment to the 2010 Capital Improvements Budget.
